advocating rapid weight loss, personal trainers, fad diets,
and misinformed persons stating what works for them. The
body will work according to how it regulates itself, you
can’t cheat the process and when manipulation is done by
the methods mentioned above it alters the way in which
the body regulates itself.
26. Why?
Consult with an Exercise Physiologist!
27. What makes it difficult for healthy individuals to lose
weight?
More than 90% of the Fitness and Gyms are owned and
operated by unqualified people with little or no education .
In regards to the fitness centers that have staff members
assisting their client base, unqualified people are giving
personal opinions in the place of professional researched
information. In general people want to lose weight without
the work, understanding and patience to remove unwanted
pounds. A majority of businesses providing services in the
area of weight loss realize that weight loss is a multi billion
dollar industry, this industry is not closely regulated and the
vendors are particularly interested in one thing, the money!

carbohydrates, proteins or water?
No, you have to figure out the appropriate ratio for your
body type and genetics. This takes a higher level of
education and experience.

Individual knowledge of what is healthy eating, restricting
Kilocalorie intake, restricting one or more of the macro
nutrient from their diet, listen and reading non professional
advice, understanding what is the most effective mode of
exercise to achieve their goal.
32. Are all people who are over weight lazy?
No, many things will determine weight issues such as diet
soda, soda pop, aspartame, fatty and processed foods,
sugar products, stress, birth control, hormone regulation,
health issues, digestive complications, medications, lack of
physical activity, disease(s), education, social
expectations, culture, peer groups, and yes laziness.

body fat ratio, this is done over a period of time, removing
adipose tissue from a region will not change the brain
control over what it has adapted to. Short and long term,
the brain and endocrine will be altered and eventually
become ineffective at regulating it self. This will result in a
steady weight gain or the inability to lose any weight. Long
term the visceral organs will become altered and unable to
regulate the body efficiently.

No, the body will replace the water lost during exercise, the
rapid water loss may have health risks such as:

the body’s ability to produce enzymatic action to produce
energy and allow the body to function properly and so on !

during aerobic exercise particular walking?

football?
With my experience and training, I find the Under Armor

have won and ran marathons and Volksmarches for many
years; I have no doubt that Brooks are a superior running
shoe to all other shoes.

They make a shoe to fit every foot condition. The
technology is unparallel by any other running shoe
manufacture. I understand brand loyalty and fashion; simply
put it is a superior product.

increasing?
Sports are risky business in general however preventative
training measures must be in place to help prevent the

physiology and athletic training. In addition, extensive hours
should be spent in laboratories to better understand how
the body responds to exercise and stress.
